Well I am thinking about doing this 3 weeks from now.
This weekend is opening trout season
Next weekend I work
The weekend after I should be free. (April 14th)

I finally figured out what I am doing for now.
Fronts:
New caliper
Slightly used rotors
Slightly used pads
Install SS lines

Rears:
Paint the stockers
Install SS lines

I will run it this way till I rip up those rotors and pads then I will upgrade but for now this will due just fine.

So who's in. If it takes that long and its nice out, I can light the grill up and someone can make a beer run. No drinking till the car is finished though. =)

Side note, anyone know where I can get some ATE fluid locally?

Talk to Ryan for the fluid. I'm a little jealous I really want a brake upgrade hahaha. Some burgers and Beer sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday so I am definately down.

Honest_Bob · 03-24-2007, 11:56 PM

I'm deffinitly down.
Wagon = beer runner!

gary · 03-28-2007, 12:20 PM

mmmm well I test fitted the kit today. Very nice. With the kit, decent pads and ss lines, it should stop pretty well.

Going to grab some paint now... mmm Wonder if I get carded again. The other day I got carded for windshield washer fluid?

Specnomore · 03-28-2007, 01:28 PM

Those look nice behind the wheels. What color are you painting them? I vote for black.

gary · 03-28-2007, 01:31 PM

Yea they are "powder coated " from the factory but its all nasty and scratched. I am going to touch them up a bit, maybe clear coat, I'll decide on the way to get paint if I ever get my fat ass up.

Specnomore · 03-28-2007, 01:35 PM

Yeah, my motivation to work on my car is seriously lacking anymore.

gary · 03-28-2007, 01:38 PM

What you don't want to make it faster now that you walked all over the wagon?

Specnomore · 03-28-2007, 01:40 PM

Nope, that was my goal in life, "Walk a wagon". Now Im going to quit and drive a tricycle.

No, thats just for daily driving. On nice days Im going to ride a unicycle. Now thats true balla.

gary · 03-29-2007, 01:15 PM

Things looks so pretty with fresh paint...

Specnomore · 03-29-2007, 02:35 PM

Nice, I was seriously worried and thought you were going to paint them blue. Black FTW!!!

Honest_Bob · 03-29-2007, 03:44 PM

Shoulda gone with yellow.

Looking good man.

gary · 03-29-2007, 04:19 PM

I thought about yellow for ohh -2 seconds
I thought about red for ohh 5 seconds

Black is the only way to go. Not like you will see them as I am doing a ricer flyby, missing our exit anyway... hehe

gary · 05-03-2007, 11:56 AM

Well the brakes are in with the help of HonestBob and my brother. The whole system was flushed with ATE Blue Fluid. I may not be able to beat someone in a straight line but I am able to out stop most.

CHAOS · 05-03-2007, 12:11 PM

looks great man... just make sure u have the right tires backing up that braking set up... dont wanna lock em and slide like i did.

gary · 05-03-2007, 12:36 PM

Haha yea the Kumhos are about the best all seasons I will get on there before I get dedicated summer rims. I do have to be careful because all 4 wheels will lock up but I think that is more because of the fluid and lines than anything.

CHAOS · 05-03-2007, 01:01 PM

its a combination... i locked all 4 with powerslot rotors, goodridge lines and normal fluid... with stock calipers haha... btw that was in my mx6

Drftpretty · 05-03-2007, 05:42 PM

The Tib looks sexy driving by everyday in the Jeep on my way to work. Now that my Tib is gone I can FINALLY finish my Rx7 and come to the meets again.
